Patch 0.4.2.1

Commanders!

We want to say thank you for 5 years of working together. Together we went through ascents and storms, new features and bugs. We have managed to create a friendly and allegianced community, that is ready to help newcomers, play roundelays and create their own raids, and we are very happy about that.

We are very grateful that you made plenty of suggestions to every our step, exploded developers' personal messages, and tested mechanics looking for the truth, fought at tournaments, battlegrounds and ranked battles.

After 4.1.10 patch Starfall Online became the non-commercial project. "Snowforged Entertainment" studio will be disbanded. Enthusiasts will continue project development but from now on Ranked mode becomes the main priority instead of global MMO.

Now you can't buy any symplex packages but you'll be able to purchase ship slots, decals, and e.t.c. using credits. The craft and ships' progression resetting have changed in the same way.

With patch 0.4.2.1. we released the English version of Starfall Online and one more good news - we are waiting for approval to enter in Steam.
